Eila Ghrayeb, BACP

Eila Ghrayeb provides an accepting, respectful space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of challenges they are struggling to cope with. She supports individuals who find it hard to trust, struggle with decision-making, or have difficulty managing emotions, stress, intrusive thoughts and unwanted habits. Her work focuses on fostering clearer self-understanding and practical steps toward change so clients can live in line with what matters to them.

Her clinical experience includes supporting people through relationship breakdown, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, childhood abuse including physical, sexual and emotional trauma, grief and loss, adjustment to life changes, addictions and substance misuse, lack of motivation, and unwanted habits. She has worked with clients given diagnoses such as borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder, and has substantial experience on the ground assisting people facing EBSD, ADHD, alcoholism, homelessness and a range of mental health difficulties.

As a Christian, she offers understanding to clients for whom faith is an important part of identity. Eila works as an integrative psychotherapist and adapts therapy to each person’s needs and preferences, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

She aims to meet people where they are, supporting them to develop the skills and insight needed to move toward their goals and to continue that progress independently.
